D15530_E-5 Installation and Operating Instructions GENERAL OMS-1 is an alarm device for monitoring the thickness of the oil layer accumulating in an oil separator. The system consists of OMS-1 control unit, OMS sensor and a cable joint. Figure 1. Oil separator supervision with OMS-1 alarm device OMS sensor is installed into the light liquid storage chamber and gives an alarm when the chamber oil layer reaches a pre-determined level.
Installation and Operating Instructions INSTALLATION OMS-1 control unit OMS-1 control unit can be wall-mounted. The mounting holes are located in the base plate of the enclosure, beneath the mounting holes of the front cover. The connectors of the external conductors are isolated by separating plate.
3. If shielded cable is used cable shields and possible excess wires need to be connected to the same point in galvanic contact. Please make sure, that the sensor and cable between OMS-1 control unit and the sensor do not exceed the maximum allowed electrical parameters –...
OMS-1 Oil Separator Alarm Device D15530_E-5 Installation and Operating Instructions OPERATION The operation of the alarm device should be checked always after the installation. Also check the operation always when emptying the separator or at least once every six months.

TEST FUNCTION Test function provides an artificial alarm, which can be used to test the function of the OMS-1 alarm device and the function of other equipment, which are connected to OMS-1 via its relay. Attention! Before pressing the Reset/Test button, make sure that the...
3. If it is possible measure also resistance between [+] wire and sensor’s upper electrode. The measured resistance should be 1,1 – 1,3 kΩ. 4. If the resistance values in items 2 and 3 are correct, then OMS-1 control unit is defective, otherwise problem is in cabling or in sensor.
In case of queries, please contact Labkotec Oy’s service. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OMS-1 control unit must not be installed in potentially explosive atmosphere. Sensors connected to it may be installed in zone 0, 1 or 2 potentially explosive atmospheres.
YY = manufacturing year on the type plate (e.g. 19 = 2019) In the cable parameters of OMS-1 sensor connection must be taken into account the interaction of capacitance and inductance. The table below indicates the connecting values in explosion group IIB.
